But now that I type soooo much faster than I write, I find it easier to type, especially when catching first draft words that tend to flow out quickly (yet often terribly).

I have been curious about how handwriting a draft would be (I have only ever typed them). I can definitely see the benefit of longer periods of writing and less distractions. Even though you will have to type it- in a way it will probably be like a first editing round. :) Good luck!<br />~JessDMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202502753961748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552707317670752823.post-43519021771089222062014-09-07T17:09:28.239-04:002014-09-07T17:09:28.239-04:00I used to hand write but I haven't in a long t...I used to hand write but I haven't in a long time.Sandra Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814573408898140885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552707317670752823.post-12994758135354655132014-09-07T09:53:14.355-04:002014-09-07T09:53:14.355-04:00I tend to hand-write short stories and rough outli...I tend to hand-write short stories and rough outlines for the same reasons you give.
